Hi Joe, long story short, I wanted to watch a dvd video on my laptop and neither gxine or vlc worked on Fedora 11 lxde spin, nor on the new lupo (puppy v501) so I tried your original slaxer pup and it worked!

So I visted these forums and saw you had this cooking version which I downloaded and that works too as far as playing a video -- (and my broadcom 4318 wireless too!) but I did a frugal install to it's own (puppy412) folder and it didn't save any of my settings and I noticed the HDD light stayed on, even when the HDD wasn't being accessed. So there's something not 'quite right' about the newest version on my laptop. Here are some specs:
IBM Thinkpad 600x with 256mb ram Pentium PIII at 500mhz
Audio adapter is a Cirrus Logic Sound Fusion CS46xx (I ran hardinfo)
IDE disks
IC25N010ATCS04-0 (that must be the hard drive)
MATSHITADVD-ROM SR-8171 (Obviously the dvd drive)

Thankfully I wrote the iso for the 'cooking' slaxer on an RW cd. If you need anything else, let me know.

slaxer which is frugal and uses your saved file
Ram-Slaxer like when you boot the first time from the live cd
fsck Slaxer does the file system check then boots your system with the saved file

P.S I saw that pizzasgood did this along time ago
but you dont need to move any files into the boot folder this way
and I wanted it pre setup for slaxer_pup for the slackware users
that join in to help

I installed this in a Thinkpad 600 with 420mb ram and 300mhz cpu.
It is wonderful but the keys are typing as though numlock is on ie J=1 K=2 L=3 etc. and I can't turn it off. Any ideas?
I only have a shallow understanding of Linux, OK up to a point, then clueless.

very easy way
delete this file if you dont know anything about linux
/root/Startup/numberlock_on

another way if you know a bit how to edit files
if you know a little bit about linux you could comment out these lines

Nice job on slaxer pup! I gave it a spin on my eeepc 900 and was very impressed. There are a few slight problems though.

When I shut down, I never get a chance to make a pupsave. I just get the message "session not saved" and it shuts off. I checked and it is running in pupmode 5, so maybe there is an issue in the shutdown script.

About every 5 to 6 seconds the mouse cursor freezes for a split second. Also noticed the same thing when scrolling a document or entering text. Not sure if there is some kind of background process causing the problem or a driver issue.

Good idea putting a date on the versions. Makes it easier to keep track of them.

I've put away my ARM-based hardware for a while to concentrate on a couple of surplus HP t5525 Thin Clients I picked up. These have VIA Eden 800 MHz CPUs, 128 MB RAM and 256 MB Flash memory, perfect for running SlaxerPup in other words

What I have in mind is to make a special *server* version of SlaxerPup to run on hardware like this. I was inspired by bchafy's Xin server puplet (http://www.murga-linux.com/puppy/viewtopic.php?t=55154) which I have been running on the HP t5525.

What I have decided so far is to have the 'SlxrPupServer' puplet work as a printer server and a simple NAS (Network-Attached Storage: the HP t5525 has 4 USB 2.0 ports) for storing and sharing files on a USB HD or Flash drive. I may also try to add some streaming server app and a torrent client (need to figure out how first )

I've already got the printer server part working. I downloaded the p910nd printer daemon source, installed amigo's src2pkg and it compiled easily. Works great with my *2* USB printers, an Epson inkjet and a Brother laser, attached at the same time. Just need to configure CUPS for each printer (using the JetDirect/socket raw printing protocol) on the client PCs and you're ready to print through the HP server

Thanks for sticking with SlaxerPup

PS Almost forgot to thank you for compiling the audio and wifi drivers for the eBox-2300. I'll test them soon and report back._________________Puppy unofficial tester (off and on) since v0.9.2

p910nd is a small printer daemon intended for diskless workstations that does not spool to disk but passes the job directly to the printer. Normally a lpr daemon on a spooling host connects to it with a TCP connection on port 910n (where n=0, 1, or 2 for lp0, 1 and 2 respectively). p910nd is particularly useful for diskless Linux workstations such as those set up with LTSP and embedded devices that have a printer hanging off them. Common Unix Printing System (CUPS) supports this protocol, it's called the AppSocket protocol and has the scheme socket://. LPRng also supports this protocol and the syntax is lp=remotehost%9100 in /etc/printcap.

Installing the daemon

Download p910nd-0.93-i486-1.tgz and install in SlaxerPup by clicking on the file name.

You can test it by simply executing p910nd in a terminal
# p910nd &

If you want the daemon to start at every bootup, just include the above line (without the #) in /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

Using the daemon

On your client PC, configure the printer in CUPS. When CUPS asks which URI to use, choose 'socket://' and add the IP address of the 'server', i.e. the PC running the printer daemon (choosing a static IP address for the printer server makes things easier ) followed by a colon and the port number).

Example URI: socket://192.168.0.15:9100

That's it!

Advanced - using two printers on the same server

Two printers on the same server is a little more complicated, but I did get it to work. Here's where the 'lsusb' utility came in handy. Two instances of the daemon need to run and the server must somehow determine which daemon controls which physical USB port.

Here's how I did it

1. Connect both printers to USB ports on the server.

2. Start up two printer daemons (in a terminal or in rc.local). The daemons will change name to reflect which port they use.
